  • Toss up between Quark hacking the defiant computer to replicate drinks into his advertising cups or him and rom popping out from a jefferies tube in Sisko’s office… mostly because Sisko had previously just been staring off into space and then immediately goes back to just staring off into space.

    • "If you don't have these little 'advertisements' cleaned up by the time we get back, I'LL come to Quark's... and believe me, I'll have FUN."

    • I watched DS9 for the first time last year, and that Rom scene had me laughing so hard!

  • A Taste of Armageddon

    Captain James T. Kirk : All right. It's instinctive. But the instinct can be fought. We're human beings with the blood of a million savage years on our hands, but we can stop it. We can admit that we're killers, but we're not going to kill today. That's all it takes. Knowing that we won't kill today. Contact Vendikar. I think you'll find that they're just as terrified, appalled, horrified as you are, that they'll do anything to avoid the alternative I've given you. Peace or utter destruction. It's up to you.

    i have to think anything that can effect me like that had to be great

  • When Mariner and Boimler show up in Strange New Worlds, played by their actual voice actors. Fantastic episode.

  • This is my personal favorite moment. It's a distillation of pretty much everything I like about Star Trek in one conversation.

  • Man, now you just trollin'.

    I get a laugh out of Sisko doing a silly child's dance in Lethal Candyland, in that episode of DS9 when they make first contact with a bunch of gambling aliens. "Allamarane! Count to four! Allamarane! Then three more!" It's those little moments in Star Trek where respected actors humiliate themselves for the sake of the plot that are just so great to watch. See also Armin Shimerman as the silvery announcement box in one of the early TNG episodes.

  • In the episode Natural Law Seven is stranded on a planet with Chakotay. She's anxious about getting stuck there with the natives and she goes off alone to find a part of the ship they need in order to be rescued. In contrast Chakotay trusts the situation and is fascinated by the local people.

    On her mission she accidentally loses her tricorder and reality suddenly sets in. She's a control freak and now she's all alone in a dangerous jungle and it's getting dark. In her despair she regresses back to her childhood self, which is all she truly has left. She's a helpless 7 year old girl who's going to die.

    A native girl finds and saves her. Seven manages to get her to understand her mission and they continue together.

    However the girl takes her to see a beautiful waterfall. At first Seven is confused and upset because she needs to find the part. However the girl is adamant about it and eventually she starts to see the beauty. It's exactly what she needed and the girl knew that all along.

    I think this moment can teach us a lot about ourselves and our relationship to technology and beauty.
